The Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy(IRmep) is a nonprofit organization based in our nation’s capital that specializes in United States-MiddleEast foreign policy. According to the group’s website,it focuses on “citizen access to initiatives ofone of the most harmful forces driving policy formulationin the U.S. political process”—namely thepowerful and wide-ranging network of pro-Israelorganizations dominating the U.S. political process,policy making apparatus and mass media.

IRmep’s “Israel Lobby Archive” is perhaps the country’s most comprehensive collection of informationrelating to the long, sordid history of Israeli espionage,subversion, theft and intrigue directedagainst America—a history readers ofAMERICAN FREE PRESS are all too familiar with, but oneof which the average citizen is largely ignorant.

The previously classified documents detailing Israeli nuclear theft at the NUMEC [Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation] nuclear facility in Apollo, Pa. were released by the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel at IRmep’s request. The documents released include a 1968 letter from Richard Helms, then-director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), written to then-Attorney General Ramsey Clark, informing him about the Israeli theft of nuclear material from the NUMEC facility.

“It is critical for us to establish whether or notthe Israelis now have the capability for fabricatingnuclear weapons which might be employed in theNear East,” Helms wrote.

Other documents obtained by IRmep include a1972 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) memorandum and a 1977 letter written byformer President Jimmy Carter to National SecurityAdvisor Zbigniew Brzezinski regarding the theft.

The documents obtained by IRmep show thatthe U.S. government knew Israel was stealing nuclearmaterial for an illegal weapons program anddid nothing to stop it.

“As the CIA was aware of the theft and law enforcementwas subsequently involved, the unwillingnessto go after the perpetrators even after thefact suggests that there was reluctance to go aftera case involving Israel even though it damaged U.S.national security,” explained Philip Giraldi, the executivedirector of the Council for the National Interestand former CIA counter-terrorism specialistand military intelligence officer. “It is a tribute tothe power of Israel’s lobby inside the UnitedStates. No politician will challenge Israel directlyon anything it does because of fear of being unelectednext time around due to interference in theprocess from the lobby.”

Giraldi went on to highlight the damage done toAmerican national security and international relationsgenerally.

The nuclear theft and Israel’s clandestine nuclearweapons program “has enabled Israel to actwith a free hand vis-à-vis its neighbors, which hashad major consequences for its patron, the UnitedStates,” Giraldi stated. “Israel’s brutal occupationof parts of Lebanon and the Palestinian territorieshas been the fuel that has fed terrorism, and thatterrorism has come home to the U.S.”

Israel is portrayed as “America’s greatest ally”when in reality the Jewish state illegally occupyingPalestine has repeatedly attacked and subvertedthe U.S. through its fifth column ofagents, partisans and assets embedded within theAmerican political establishment, mass media andcorporate world. American foreign and domesticpolicy are largely formulated and dictated by neoconsand cultural Marxists with direct ties to theZionist entity occupying Palestine, many of whommaintain dual American-Israeli citizenship. Israeliespionage directed against America iswidespread and well-known, as the FBI has repeatedlydocumented.

“Israel spies on the U.S. across the board,” explainedGiraldi. “Every U.S. administration sinceLyndon Johnson should be held accountable forwhat is going on. The White House knows exactlywhat Israel has been doing but is afraid to act in spiteof the constitutional responsibility to enforce the law. It is the longest running charade in history.”
